Please allow us to introduce ourselves

as vintage men of tools and taste

We usually have a lot to say about
cars and parts of cars because we have been working with and driving these cars
for most of our lives. We don't mince words as we like them whole and plentiful thus
brevity is not overly abundant on our website and run on sentences much like the
number of nuts and bolts on Rolls-Royce or Bentley cars are absolutely rampant.
Our website is absolutely not limited to a few words like Twitter and continues to expand much like a waistline over the years as we
continually experience automotive works of interest and write about them so if
you are too multitasked to read more than a few words then you might like to
look at the pictures.

Our website seems to be the
largest dedicated website about these cars that exists and offers a great deal
of useful information about these cars and we supply parts for these cars as
well. As every picture tells a story we have
many stories and photographs of cars and photographs of parts of cars. We even have
photographs of photographs of cars. Every photo can be expanded for better
viewing by clicking on them. Woven though our website is storytelling about
British cars with various ways to avoid or solve many car related problems. The
revelation and dissection of certain automotive truths and untruths are
revealed.

For the last 42,000 years or
so we have been
dedicated to supplying spare parts and offering many restorative and rebuilding
services for Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, Bristol,
Morgan and Morris.

We sometimes supply parts and work
with vintage Mercedes-Benz cars from the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.

Although the supply of new parts is a major aspect of what we do, we are about
much more as we actually repair and rebuild these cars and various assemblies
from them. Sometimes our parts fellow does restoration and rebuilding work between phone calls so might
be rebuilding something intricate with all four of his hands so please leave a message on our recorder if
the phone is not speedily answered.

We do not track, spy, wiretap or inflict advertising
cookies upon visitors to our website.

New articles,
revisions and photos are often added and soon this introduction will no longer be very short so it ends
with the little period right over there .

Our Bentley and Rolls-Royce car parts
and restoration departments are renowned throughout most of the Milky Way! This
popular chapter expounds about specific Rolls-Royce and
Bentley repairs with servicing information that gets right into the restoration and repair of
various systems and includes storytelling
lessons if you will about our experiences working with these great cars. Knowledge is power
as they say so have some on us.

Henceforth and forevermore
unless forever takes too long or until we do something different all parts
listings with photos and descriptions will be in this chapter although Part One
also has considerable parts related information that will probably stay there
unless we get editorially vigorous. We offer over 60,000 new factory original Bentley and Rolls-Royce parts and
when the factory no longer supplies something, may well offer alternatives as we are
always problem solving. Just a few available parts are listed on our
website. It is best to contact us directly about what you want.

We offer a generally gigantic as well as
moderately massive yet absolutely supercalifragilisticexpialidocious number of new
and renovated spare parts for British cars other than Rolls-Royce and Bentley such
as vintage Jaguar E-Type and the MK and XJ series. We supply Austin Healey 3000, 100/6 and Sprite
parts as well as for MG cars like the
MGTD and MGTF, MGA and MG Midget, MGB and MGB-GT, MGC, MG Magnette and many Triumph
models such as TR3 and TR4, TR6, Stag and Spitfire so you never know what we can
provide unless you ask. Some parts
do require an operational time machine to locate such as a request for a perfect
original (made in 1961 by original card carrying Jaguar elves) interior for a
1961 Jaguar E-Type Roadster or for used but need to be perfect plastic tail lamp lenses for a 50+
year old Rolls-Royce. These sort of things we still supply new.

Very Short
Stories and Tall Tales

Photos and stories about vintage Jaguar,
MG, Triumph, Jensen Healey, Mercedes-Benz and Austin Healey restorations we have
done or are doing so as to provide the gentle reader a notion of what such work
involves.

We
repair and rebuild just about anything that is worth doing a good job on as long
as the assembly is not available new or is available new yet may be
costly
enough to justify the time and materials required to do a proper rebuild.
Our capabilities are quite extensive and this chapter contains many interesting
examples of vintage Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Jensen Healey, Austin Healey and more
repair actions. We also show some interestingly botched repair jobs sent to us
for reverse botching.

We supply tires in sizes that actually
fit in popular sizes for 1950-1980 MG cars, 1952-1980 Triumph cars, all Austin
Healey, Bristol 409 and certain vintage Jaguars like XK120, XK140, XK150,
all Jaguar E-Types, Jaguar MK saloons and other British cars as well
as Mercedes Benz 190sl and Porsche 356. We also supply tires for Rolls-Royce
Silver Shadow.

This section also features interesting cars for sale that
are not wicked beasts. You should buy them before someone
else does.

There is information on how to avoid buying a
"Formerly Known as a Car".
These are cars that have become piles of automotive distress through no fault of
their own. Some cars have been falsified using various tricks to enable them to
masquerade as nice cars for just long enough to sell them to unsuspecting
buyers. We have seen much of this sort of thing over the years.

At this time we are donating 100% of the
proceeds from used parts sales to animal rescue groups. Our management supports many animal
rescue groups like Habitat for Horses and
Husky Haven and Texas
Sled Dog Rescue and Texas Husky Rescue as
well as Houston's wild animal santuary. We foster dogs, cats
and other rescue animals on a regular basis. Lots of great cars and
machines were named after animals and we have many clients that like to ride
around with their dogs and cats. We think that calling a car a dog is a great
compliment to the car! If cars were as reliable and trustworthy as dogs, we
would be out of business! No worries there though.

At
the top of this page and every page are icon keys that when clicked will take
you to specialized areas about cars, parts, restorations and explanations about
the many services and car stuff we offer. Our website has been growing and
evolving just about since the internet went public so there is quite a bit of
specific knowledge tucked away in the nooks of the site not to be found in books that may help
a person avoid getting caught
by the hooks of the crooks.

Wewish for everyone to be healthy, wise
and in these challenging times, employed or otherwise fortunate enough to own
and drive fine vintage (or potentially fine) cars as well as their daily drivers
(vintage cars of the future).

We can possibly be of
assistance if the car is not listed in the above Box o'Cars.You just never know until you ask now do
you?

We like
e-mails as they create a record we can work from as our mental circuits can be
forgetful or over loaded at times. Please keep in mind that most days we receive
lots of genuine e-mail enquiries along with massive mountains of junk and spam
emails. For long lists of parts,
complex requests or any sort of spare parts request, an e-mail with year, model
and VIN really work best. We do not do a web shopping cart as we still like to
actually converse with our clients and we have found that many owners or shops
are unaware of enough specifics to order the correct parts so we like to make
sure that you get what you need. This is what we do. The rest of the world may
be automating humans out of work but we are not robots. Maybe later we will turn
into robots but not today. Maybe tomorrow.

Many car part requests require accurate
research through our vintage paper parts books, computer data bases and vintage
memories so please be patient as some of the vintage parts info is not on
computer data bases and is in our collection of ancient and delicate parts
tomes. Don't forget to include the year, model and VIN or chassis
number if possible for cars you are working with as this information greatly
speeds up the process. In the subject line of your e-mail, please type the make
of your car so we will see the email is not another Spam Scam. If you do not
receive an answer in a reasonable timeframe your enquiry may have been lost in
our spam filter or who know where it went so don't give up. Send it again! The
internet is not perfect and neither are we but we still want to help your car
attain the degree of perfection that you want if we can.

Very few firms still possess the direct experience we have earned from working with
these cars for such a long time because knowledgable people have retired or have moved
to a different dimension. If you are not an enthusiast, you might
just blossom into one as you read our stuff as these cars are amongst the most
fun to drive that were ever built. Every vintage car is unique and has it's own
driving and esthetic characteristics because they were built by the inventive hands of man
and woman.

Sometimes we receive phone
calls from car owners that have been texting us and wonder why there is no response. This is because
our business phone is a land line. We
don't use Blackberries or Apples either although we do like to eat
them when fresh and in season. We do use telephones and
e-mail as well as smoke signals and dinosaur talk.
We leave tweets for the birds because they are better at it and obviously we
are enthusiastic users of properli speled werds. No Facebook or social
networking promotional stuff either although maybe someday maybe we might get
around to it. We do e-mail pictures of our
painted body parts but they are parts of cars. All of our sometimes prolific
writings and photos about cars will be found herein.

We don't know why this is
so, but readers quite often tell us that they get all excited about their cars
again after reading our car tales for a time and we thank our reader clients that
drop us a note from time to time telling us how they enjoy reading our
automotive meanderings yet we do suggest that no reading be done whilst driving.
Stay safe, stay healthy and have a great time with a car.

The cars that we offer for sale all have
varying degrees of experience because we don't sell new cars. In fact only a few
of the original manufacturers of the cars we work on these days are still in the business
of building cars.

Sometimes we offer restored and finished
cars and good street cars. Unfinished yet worthy projects from mild to fairly
wild are available for consideration now. We also offer intensive pre-sale
inspections on cars being considered for purchase from any seller. We have car
projects for those that enjoy mechanical challenges to blow off steam or just
because they enjoy rebuilding cars.

Way Down Under

Once upon a time, we had some brave
Aussies come to visit from Down Under. They had noticed some cars we had for sale on our website
and traveled from Oz to here to purchase an Austin Healey 3000 parts car that
had been rotting into the ground for some 25 years in the back of our property.
The car split in two when they moved it as the frame had rusted away. They
wanted this particular car as both of these blokes had a desire for a great
challenge that would take them years to do. Australians are not lightweights.
They stuffed both halves of the car into a 20 ft. container along with a much
nicer Austin Healey 100/6 and a lot of spare parts and back to Australia they went.
From time to time they send us photos of the progress and of the complete new
frame they hand built. We learned to have a lot of respect for the wild men from
Down Under.

Our
inner pages illustrate some of the utterly vast array of parts and services we
offer with many photos of typical works in progress while muttering about car
stuff so have fun exploring our site as it has many pathways and destinations.
If any questions arise, just ask!

Working with and supplying
parts for greatBritish sport cars
such as this cool Austin Healey 100/6, MGA Coupes and many cars that were
manufactured in England are what we do. The director of our company has
owned an Austin Healey 3000 since 1972 and had the great pleasure of enjoying a
luncheon with Donald Healey before, not after, Don passed away. The Donald
inscribed a book that he wrote to Scotty telling him, "Thanks for
maintaining the breed and your blue 3000 is my favorite colour. " Of course he
told all the other Healey owners that were also attending the event that the
color of their cars were also his favorites and why not?

Fear the Driving Dead

Sometimes we come across a car that is or might ought to
be dead due to major structural rust or intense damage but the car refuses to go
gently into the scrap pile
because of continual stays of execution from a successsion of owners
and their good intentions. Perhaps in a moment of wild abandon an owner paid too
much for a "Formerly Known as a Car" and
hence despite large outlays of funds expended for unsuccessful efforts the owner
refuses to acknowledge that the car is doomed and their investment is kaput.
Sometimes frustrated owners will place such a car in storage for many years.
Sometimes the car is eventually sold to another owner and the cycle of doom
begins once again. This depressing scenario can be avoided though. Evaluating a
vintage car takes an expert eye that is emotionally undetached and because considerable experience and time taken to learn about a cars true condition
is required as many
bad things can be well hidden or may be hiding in plain sight waiting to consume
an unwary wallet.

Resurrection

Frequently we bring cars
back from the dead or from long deep sleeps. The ancient Egyptians carefully
preserved their dead for an afterlife and were really into their mummies in those days. Maybe the
ancient Egyptians should have built cars instead of mummies.

Many people
today usually don't do much to preserve cars they own that sometimes are hanging around
like a mummy. The old car will be parked in a barn, storage
shed or left outside and forgotten until someone with an eye for hidden dusty or
rusty beauty comes along to rescue the car. Many owners are reluctant to let
their cars go even though the car may be in dire straights. They like their car
but just got busy with non- car stuff like families, work and worthy causes.
Our lives pass through many phases and levels of responsibility
so sometimes favorite cars are stowed until a more "free" or financially
advantageous time arrives and owners and their favorite cars can play together
once again.

Our
unreal world experience has without a doubt greatly enhanced many car owners
driving pleasure and this is what these cars are all about. We are skilled in
the ways of fine craftsmanship and possess considerable product and technical
knowledge learned from working upon and studying mechanical and electronic
designs used on these cars for many years as well as successfully and
continuously completing difficult assignments every day of our five day work
week. On a daily basis we work with cars that have been long stowed as the
emotional appeal of a car can run deep and owners will hang on to them until
they find someone that they trust to fix the car properly.

We perform bench work
(assemblies that can be done on a bench, please don't send us your broken
benches) for mechanically minded enthusiasts and shops that have chosen to have
us perform critical and safety related aspects of their restoration projects as
well as perform all manner of services. Successful workmanship on fine cars or
anything else requires highly refined skills earned from many years of learning
experiences. In many circumstances, automotive shops and owners can move
the required work forward by sending us critical or complex components for
proper and speedy as possible rebuilding or repairs. We always work with
"deliberate haste" to transform leaking or no longer operational assemblies into
nicely working condition.

Part of our model car
parking lot in the reception area which is sort of a museum of sorts as our
owner has collected a lot of car related stuff over the years. As a matter
of interest for potential visitors our restoration workshop and our parts
division stay very busy. The nature of our business is of course very
interesting to enthusiasts wanting to 'wander" about. However as our primary
focus is concentrating on doing good works and meeting obligations to our
clients, we are no longer able to
give personal tours of the workshops so that we can continue to perform automotive services as well as make our
clients restoration dreams come true. Please call ahead of time for an
appointment if you want to make a personal visit for parts. We don't mean to be
rude but have much more to do each day than hours to do it as the world
economy has made us all the busier with internet based parts sales. This is a
phenomena we don't fully understand but there it is and we are humbled.

We have done this sort of
work for for astute, sensible, intelligent, thoughtful, fun loving and sharp
dressed clients for 42 years or more in Houston Texas, a place famous for
mosquitoes that are so large and ill mannered the buzzing bugs are often mistaken for small
aircraft or drones.

We have a relationship with a world of owners of cars and shops that work with
the cars in Dubai, Egypt, Mexico,
Brazil, Italy, Guatemala, Cuba, Lebanon, Austria, New
England, Olde England, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Austria, Norway, Quebec, Ecuador,
Spain, Russia, France, Canary Islands, Japan, El

Suriname, The Kingdom of Bahrain, Slovakia, the Dominican Republic,
Brazil, Lebanon, Zambia, Bermuda, Abu Dhabi, South Africa, Israel, Venezuela, Switzerland,
Puerto Rico, Chili, Argentina, Japan, Holland, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic,
Norway, Ireland, Germany, Australia, American Samoa, Argentina, Wales,
Turks and Caicos islands, the Philippines, every state in the USA, just about every province in
Canada or just about anywhere in the developed third galaxy have found that
purchasing parts from us gains a car owner much more than just parts.

We also supply parts for vintage
Mercedes Benz 6.3 litre M-100 300SEL and the 3.5 300SEL, 280SEL, 250C and classically styled
109SL, 230SL, 250SL, 280SL, 350SL, 450SL, 500SL and 560SL cars. We have restored quite
afew SL's. Check our
Restoration section for photos. Vintage Mercedes Benz cars from the
1950's to 1980's are old friends here and we can offer many suggestions on what
to do to improve these cars from age related deterioration.

The Bee's Knees of Electronic
Ignitions

We area world wide distributor for Pertronix Electronic
Ignitionsand performance
products that replace antique and unreliable point style ignitions with tiny
(inside the distributor where it cannot be seen) state of the art electronic
ignitions available in both positive and negative grounds for MG, Triumph,
Jaguar, Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and many Bentleys, Mercedes Benz 6.3, 3.5, 280
and just about any car or machine that uses ignition points.

We fit these ignitions to just about every
points style car that comes in the shop. Owners appreciate the vastly increased
reliability and smooth performance. Own a forklift or a pump of some sort that
uses points? We can probably help. These ignitions and hot 40K and 45K volt
coils have wide applications for farm machinery, fork lifts and industrial
engines as well as cars and boats of all sorts. A link to the full catalog with
applications and technical information is included on our Pertronix information
page.

Sir William Lyons, the founder of
Jaguar Cars, once proclaimed, "The car is the closest thing we will ever create
to something that is alive." The great old designer passed away in 1985
and obviously never saw a lava lamp. Vintage Jaguars are always cool anyway even
if they don't have a lava lamp option.

Wedon't think a car is supposed to drive like a heap of junk because the car is an
older model. We reserve such judgments for cars that actually have
devolved into a heap o' junk based on many factors other than year
model. Great cars have been built for over a hundred years and all special
interest cars have their unique charms.

Quality parts and a shop such as ours
that seeks to properly care for vehicles and owners automotive requirements with
a long term view are a natural combination. Worn out parts and rotten
tires will cause any car to drive like a wallowy old lump no matter the age of
the vehicle. Who willingly wants to drive a car that steers like the Titanic or
rides like a wheel barrow?

Aninteresting human phenomena is that
many owner/drivers simply do not know or perhaps no longer remember what their
car is or was supposed to drive like.

Suppose the car in question is
considerably older than the present owner? This is happening more and more as
time goes by. Frequently we are working on cars for multipule generations as the car gets passed down the line. The car might be the only
similar car an owner has recent and intimate experience driving or they might
have been in the car as a child with grand daddy or grand mammy behind the wheel
or perhaps there is no tangible personal reference experience. In other
situations whereby an owner may have owned a car for a long while the car and
the owner are slowly mellowing together through the years as old friends will do
and normal wear and tear in the suspension or steering or slow deterioration in
the cars performance can be subtle but certain.

Typically, owners
may buy a car and just assume it is what it is instead of it is what it wasor it was what it is now.( Got that? Now repeat it 129 times as fast as you can.)

We authoritatively assert
that a car can be whatever a quality shop or person builds it into by properly
sorting out known ailments, adding effective yet subtle enhancements and working
out potential problems before they occur. Our goal of course is to return a car
to an owner in such a condition that the car will perform well for a long time
without problems. We believe in educating our clients about their car and what
the possibilities can be. If you don't know, how can you know better?

Aquestion we often hear is, " Why should I spend all that
money fixing my trusty and much beloved old car that has given me countless
hours of fun when I probably cannot sell it for a small fortune or even for the
restoration cost?"

Well, what worthy objects of desire are
worth what was paid right after purchase? Is the immediate goal of restoring a
car to sell it? Sometimes this is the plan and sometimes the point is to be able
to enjoy driving the car because you want to. These days lots of things, everything, loses value
after purchase, yes? A new car loses lots of value when first driven from the
car lot. Most products have greatly diminished monetary value after purchase and
are difficult to sell for much. We buy these products simply to do the job
they were purchased for. In stark contrast are certain cars in good
condition that deliver continuous pleasure for protracted periods and still
maintain considerable value that in many cases hold steady or rise. The
enjoyment of owning and driving a fun car cannot be accurately nor
quantitatively measured with traditional accounting methods. Having a great time
driving a cool Austin Healey or Bentley is just that. of all the things in life
worth paying for, food, health, shelter and fun are surely to be ranked amongst
the highest of priorities. Money can't buy you love but it sure can buy you a
fine car.

Our firms are not
affiliated with other companies that may or may not have similar names or may
otherwise be engaged in any aspect of the automotive business. Feel free to use
any catalog, parts book, website or whatever to order parts from us or just tell
us what you want and we can work up quotes and availability. We work with
factory part numbers or vague descriptions for that matter. We are doing
our small bit to save trees, stamps, ink and lessen trash by not publishing
paper catalogs.

You might say that if websites had lips
then our website surely must have a stiff upper lip.

And now for something completely different...

We are are
much too shy to post our time sculpted faces all over the internet. So.

Here are photosof FiFi, our extremely sociable shop cat. She wandered
in one day looking for a handout, decided we were ok and stayed.

FiFi enjoys looking over Scotty's shoulder from time to time to make sure he is
ordering enough cat food for the week.

In this photo, FiFi was less than a bit annoyed from waking up to a camera
flashing in her face during her regular afternoon siesta in an empty parts bin.

http://www.caninecovers.comHere is a link to some
things we offer for car interior protection so animals can be transported or
hang out in your car and the cockpit won't be damaged during a road trip. If
some of these items interest you and you want to order them, let us know. We
highly discount these products to animal rescue groups to use for fundraisers.

We support many animal
rescue groups and also foster and board dogs awaiting adoptions with
organizations such as e-rescue-houston.organd www.scoutshonor.org
These dedicated groups have fine dogs and cats of every breed, shape and size
available for adoption. Why buy a dog when you can find wonderful animals at the
animal shelters? There are lots of fine dogs that need a good home and they will
love you when no one else cares.

Scotty's
lovely, entertaining, highly intelligent and you never know what she will do
next wife used to do a daily Pacifica radio program called "Adopt a Friend" that
helped find homes for rescued dogs, cats, chickens, burros, horses and rabbits.
Some of the the theme songs were, " Find Some Bunnies to Love" inspired by the
Jefferson Airplane and "What's Up Pussycat?" sung by Tom Jones. The main
theme song was Carol King's, "You've got a Friend" performed by a variety of
artists.

Life is a
lot more fun with animals and each of them have as distinct a personality as any
human only without the dark side. We have many animals sharing our lives
so we have lots of fun.

Did you know
that rescue animals can be transported to most places in the USA as the
animal rescue groups around the country support each other and have their
ways? Check out www.huskyhaven.orgor e-rescue-houston.orgfor information and pictures of Siberians and
other dogs and cats that would like a nice home. They have really beautiful
animals.

Isis the Princess of Love is no longer is
available for adoption as we took her into our family. We are known as
repetitive foster failures and don't feel a bit bad about it! When we picked her
up from the Houston animal pound she had a bad lung infection that almost
killed her. Isis spent six weeks at a kindly vet's clinic being nursed back to
health. She is such a lovely dog with a sweet personality and the vet could not give
up on her and we so so happy about that. If you are interested in adopting
dogs like Isis or any animal, contact the animal rescue groups in your area or
at any of the links above.

In response to requests for more photos
of our animals (this is supposed to be a car web site you know) here are a few
more:

This
is our gorgeous male Siberian Aston who we rescued from the streets. He had
Sarcoptic mange, which is contagious, but we kept him away from our dogs while
we treated him and now he has been part of our pack for over 9 years. He loves
to talk, is extremely friendly to all dogs and will give kisses to those who want
them.

Here are Aston and Isis in love. Both are neutered or spayed of
course but they are star crossed lovers in every other sense. Aston walked off
the streets and into our workshop one day as a young nine month old wandering
pup. He was nodded off in a corner of our office floor when we found him. Aston
had been on the street a while, had mange and was thin but otherwise ok. He is a
fantastic fellow with a voice like Pavarotti. He enjoys singing his love songs
to his girlfriends Isis and border collie Daimler. We enjoy his songs as well.

Here is Aston buried in toys. Obviously Aston is a very laid back dog.

Here are Aston, Isis and our brilliant, much smarter than honor students border
collie Daimler Benz hanging out after a hard days work of hanging out. Daimler
has a vocabulary greater than many humans it seems. Border collies are amazing.
They know what you are thinking sometimes before you think about it, like when
the exact time of dinner is.

Sweet Daimler waking up from a nap. Daimler is frustrated because she has no
sheep to herd and has to make do with a Frisbee.

Here is little blond Tazzmo-mon our elderly gentleman cocker thinking about
stuff. We found the young ( at the time) Tazz when we came to work one Monday
long ago laying in the gardens in front of our workshop. A wanderer, he had been
mauled and a bad infection had set in making him unable to walk along any
further. The Tazzmo also had a puncture wound to his neck and we believe
that he had decided to die in our gardens as the infection was very bad by that
point. We brought him in, had a vet work him over and he was with us ever since.
He was a true gift from the streets and a great friend.

Contact some animal rescue groups. Find
yourself a great friend!

Hurricane Harvey and Irma left many traumatized
people and animals behind. Their homes were destroyed and their lives have been shattered.
If you want to help an animal that really needs a friend, contact the animal
rescue groups and Humane Societies on the Gulf Coast and you won't regret it.

As President Harry Truman sort of said,"
If you want loyal friends, adopt some dogs."

Here are a pair of little pups we rescued. The black one was hit by a car (that
did not stop) right in front of our workshop. She had managed to crawl out of
the street and into our gardens and that was as far as she could go. We named
her Driving into Miss Daisy or Daisy for short. Daisy had some fractured
bones but has recovered well with some weeks of care and isolation. The fine
looking brown dog is her loyal sibling that would not leave her side when Daisy
was hit by a car. We named him Bentley. We heard the cries of pain and found
them starving, thirsty and needing a friend. Luck was with them once again as we
took both to the vet for care.

.

Daisy on the left was adopted by some
cool people in San Francisco. Bentley grew into a beautiful dog. His naturally
loyal character is growing and he loves to hang out and just be a happy dog.
We think he must have been a combination of
horse and dog as his legs are very long. Bentley has now been adopted by a lucky
family in San Antonio. These two were a pair of lucky dogs that found great
homes.

We have now taken in Kayla, a nice little stray
street girl that we found with one of her toes almost ripped off. The toe bone
was sticking out. She was a mess. We took her to the Animal Hospital in Houston
where we had her toe cleaned up and she was spayed. She is responding well to
good food, A/C and lots of playing with our dog pack. The toe is
healed up and she looks great. Kayla has a sweet personality, a pretty
face with nice markings, is not interested in cats and likes to hang out and
play with other dogs. She is a great companion. If you are interested in
adopting her, let us know. In these photos it's about 103 degrees F.
outside and she is a little hot dog.

Our canine family hangs out.

We receive an amazing number of e-mails
from fellow animal rescue people out there that find our website while searching
for British car parts and it is good to know that you are doing what you do.

We adopted a beautiful golden
one eyed Cocker Spaniel that came to us from Gulf Coast Cocker Spaniel Rescue in Houston. Her
story is that someone in a car observed another car driving down the road which slowed but does not stop and the people inside the car throw
a little dog out a window and into a ditch. The evil people then sped off. The amazed and
nice person took charge, saved the dazed little girl and turned her over
to the dog pound where the Cocker rescue group saved her from lethal injection.
Little Farina was understandably a bit freaked out when we received her but we
have been working with her for a while and now she is just fine. She has a sweet
disposition and gets along great with our dog pack.

Here is another addition to our pack.
Lola is a Samoyed and was a foster with Red Collar Rescue. We adopted her and
will stay with us forever. Be
sure to visit all of their great dogs and cats up for adoption at
www.RedCollar.org.

Jasmine, our little red Husky was born with
a short flip paw on one front leg and the other front paw was malformed. Jasmine
loves to have fun as all dogs do. She was found wandering on a street
where she had been dumped. We adopted her and had a prosthetic leg made by a
Houston animal prosthetic specialist so she can run with the rest of our pack.
When Jasmine is wearing her leg, she can run like a normal dog and has a
great life.

A local Houston rescue group, Scout's
Honor Rescue, is helping dogs and cats not only by rescuing them from
certain death at our pounds, but also helping them long-term by sponsoring free
spay and neuters by using the SNAP (Spay/Neuter Assistance Program) mobile
truck. If you want to help contact SHR at
www.ScoutsHonor.org.

Another recently-formed rescue group is
Rescued Pets Movement. This group is unique in that they pull dogs and cats from
Houston's local pounds and transports them to fully vetted rescued groups in
Colorado who have foster homes and sometimes adoptive homes waiting. You see
Colorado has had mandatory spay/neuter laws for over two decades so they do not
have the tremendous overflow of pets as in Texas. If you want to help by
sponsoring an animal and literally save their life visit them at
www.RescuedPetsMovement.org.

The people that do such evil deeds? Well,
you can probably guess what we think about them. Shark food? No, we like sharks.

A good thing to do is to look around your
area for animal rescue groups and:

1. Send them some money. They will spend
it on food and shelter for animals they have rescued.

2. Volunteer at an animal rescue group
to clean up and walk some nice dogs, give them some love and let them know that life will
get better.

There is a HBO movie series called
One Nation Under Dog. Check it out!

Animal Rescue Here are
graphic photos of dogs that had a very hard life, were rescued and we are helping
them by donating money for their care at a local animal hospital. These are not
pretty pictures but they are real.

We also buy old British car dealer stocks and new
old stock parts and buy lots of used parts from time to time as well. Bring them
down!

Let's get physical:

From
downtown Houston, take I-45 North to the West Road exit (exit #59). West Road is
an exit south of the Houston
Intercontinental Airport exit. Upon exiting the freeway, make a quick maneuver
to the right lane of the feeder street and turn right on Bluebell (like the ice
cream). Drive down two blocks until Bluebell intersects Airline Drive and
turn left. We are around the corner on the left behind the green ornamental iron
fence.

From
the Katy I-10 area or coming from 290/Austin, take the Sam Houston Toll Road to
I-45 North. Turn south on I-45 towards town and exit on West Road ( the first
exit you come to). Turn left and drive down to the second red light which is
Airline Drive. Turn right and we are 1/2 a mile down on the right.

From
the Woodlands and the great North, drive south on I-45 to West Road and turn
left. Go to the second red light (Airline Dr.) and turn right. Look for our sign
on the right about a 1/2 mile down.

From
the Kingwood area or the Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH), take Beltway 8
West to I-45 South, exit on West Road and turn left. Drive to the second red
light and turn right on Airline Drive. We are on the right side about a 1/2 mile
down behind the green ornamental steel fence.

"A
wheeled vehicle will drive as well as the average condition of the total sum of
all the parts that have not as yet fallen off."
